has anyone gone thru this...if so what was your experiences, therapy, and rehab ritual, full recovery time etc,... frown



Donny you have been sitting for the nearly 20 years I have known you smile

I believe in use it or lose it... I am pretty sure I have been more active than you over the years.. I have always played sports and have had my share of injuries.. never went under a knife..

My old buddies from younger days were quick to get cut up.. I played on average more than another 30 years after they became spectators.. grin

Don't get lazy.. force yourself to be active... even if it is walking.. Hopefully the use it or lose it has not caught up to you.. frown

BTW: I try to walk 4-6 miles a day.. (usually 4 days a week).. and I pick the hottest time of the day to walk.. smile

You would be surprised how many operations are not needed.. I have heard this from doctors that brag about the easy buck to be made..
